Department amended the AR2 Final
Results to correct a ministerial error.2 As
a result, the Department assigned
Koehler a weighted-average dumping
margin of 4.33 percent.3 Subsequently,
Koehler and Appvion, Inc.4 challenged
the AR2 Amended Final Results in the
CIT.5 While that litigation was pending,
the Department published the final
results of the third review of the Order
in which it found that Koehler had
engaged in a transshipment scheme,
which began in the prior, second review
period, and withheld requested
information.6 As a result, in the AR3
Final Results the Department found that
Koehler had failed to cooperate to the
best of its ability in complying with the
Department’s requests for information
and assigned Koehler a total adverse
facts available (AFA) rate of 75.36
percent.7 In light of the AR3 Final
Results, in the litigation concerning the
AR2 Amended Final Results, the
Department sought a voluntary remand
to reconsider the AR2 Amended Final
Results, which the Court granted.
On June 16, 2014, the Department
issued its final results of
redetermination pursuant to remand.8
The Department determined that, based
on the transshipment scheme which
began in the second review period and
had been uncovered in the third review,
Koehler had failed to cooperate to the
best of its ability in complying with the
Department’s requests for information in
the second review.9 As a result, the
Department assigned Koehler an AFA
rate of 75.36 percent, and corroborated
the rate using Koehler’s transactionspecific margins from the second
review.10
